Great draw for me. Never been to a scotchland game. Might have to when Malta come.

Fk knows how Eso is gonna decide who he wants to win from Malta, England & Slovakia.

I was just thinking me you and eso could do about 6 road trips for this group with our combined connections!!

Wales 750/1 for WC but ranked in the top pool even after their dream draw.  Must be worth a few quid at 750/1.  They can't be 750/1 once they get through.  Can only get shorter surely?

Top ten team in the world.  Can't possibly go off 150/1 surely?  FIFA rankings ftw  Grin  You ain't tying much up at 750/1 for 3 years.  If you can shift it at 75/1 in 3 years you made more than you will in the bank in 3 years on £200.

Fifa rankings so easy to manipulate.

Whatever you think of the rankings they can't possibly be real
750/1 chances.  Unfortunately it is gone and you can only get 500/1 now.  Just look at all the crap teams you wade through with much tougher draws before you get to Wales.

Edit think 500/1 is still a bet if it wasn't clear

I was expecting Wales to be a 100/1 poke given their draw tbh.  Betfair sb seen enough gone 125/1 from 750/1!!!

Saw that.  Shy offered £1 e/w.  Victor more friendly.  Definite pause before they took 15 e/w.

I am not sure what you mean, but is this the average ranking of opponents?  Hence Scotland have a tougher group than England?

This is great - Robin Williams ripping the piss out of Sepp Blatter at the draw for the 1994 World Cup.

Yes, sorry. Using FIFA rankings as of 9th July, each team is up against the 5 opponents and simply added total, divided by the 5 teams, giving a average rankimg group in order of difficulty

I can't believe media rights interfered with the draw and the 6 biggest countries for TV income couldn't be in groups of 5

Seems unfair to me
